United States First Circuit

In this case, defendant pleaded guilty to one count of failure to register under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) and was sentenced to a top-of-the-range incarcerative sentence of 37 months to be followed by a five-year term of supervised release. The judgment is affirmed, where the group of supervised release conditions restricting defendant’s interactions with minors do not impress upon the defendant a great deprivation of liberty than is reasonably necessary to serve the goal of deterrence.
